US geography

Fifty states' landscapes

The physical and political features of the United States—its states, regions, cities, rivers, mountains, and boundaries.

US geography encompasses everything from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River, from state capitals to time zones.

I failed the US geography portion of the test.

Often tested in school quizzes and citizenship exams.
